How? He clearly is going to get close to a max offer anywhere else he goes. If the spurs were willing to pay him the max why wouldn’t any other team take that as a sign he still can play?
This is the nba not the nfl. The lockeroom is too small. If you have a player who wants out, as a way to save your lockeroom and the image of your team you trade him.
Spurs still have the leverage. Pop and RC weren't trading Aldridge cause they couldn't get good value.
If they can't get what they want, they aren't moving him immediately. This isn't Cleveland.
Thats exactly what i said
Spurs HATE the Lakers
They would never do them any favors.
Thats just wishful thinking. Kawhi is going east. Probably to a crap team too like atlanta or charlotte.
I just saw the hawks have the 3rd pick. That right there is enough for kawhi. Spurs not going to send him to a team with possibility of success anytime soon.
Kawhi playing in SA come training camp is more likely than the Hawks or Hornets getting him.
